You left out hjkl and C-bnpf, the cursor. And / and C-s, search. These are the only things I know in vi but it makes it barely usable for config.

The point of this thread is that you have to do something to magnify your viewpoint! Bad comments get grayed out. Maybe great comments should get shiny.

I wasn't talking about doing polls only. Each application would get a discussion thread, so there is room for someone to write a passionate essay or whatever. I agree that there are issues with exposing voting. Maybe it would be interesting

Swick - swift talk This is not a real word. The only swicks in Wikipedia are proper names. It is nearby a bunch of words, I suppose. Sick, Sweet, Stick, Slick, Squick. Also nice because it suffixes neatly: swicked, swicking, swicks, swicker

I get worthwhile notice of new albums by my favorite bands once in a while. Marketing isn't necessarily about self-promotion, it's also about making the connection between what you have and what somebody else already wanted. In good (Soviet

With J I have to visit directories to add them to my index. This ramp-up is annoying. With CDPATH, I index it all at the beginning. If I find a new major head in my directory tree, I just add it.

Crazy, the exact same thing happened to me recently. At one point David Lynch wanted his DVDs not to have scene breaks, just a play button. I get it, I totally do. I'm at work so your preamble is firewalled, but I'll get to it this evening.
